In the private sector, IT can set up a self-provisioning environment that lets development teams move at the required speed without ceding control of enterprise resource management – things such as compute, storage, and random access memory (RAM). Additionally, how one would deploy their application into these environments can vary greatly.

Building general purpose architectures has always been hard; there are often so many conflicting requirements that you cannot derive an architecture that will serve all, so we have often ended up focusing on one side of the requirements that allow you to serve that area really well. From CPU to GPU. General Purpose GPU programming.

Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.

Some of these services naturally should run on the top-of-rack (ToR) switch, like load balancing or security services. So how does this work?
